    Series 2 - Ep 9 - Tech for Good Summit - Skilled Volunteering, the value to the Third Sector

    Volunteers are the bedrock of the third sector – it simply wouldn’t function without them. Skilled volunteering, whether from the tech or any other specialist sector can be transformational for charities, but sometimes doesn’t realise its full potential. How can the third sector capitalise on the opportunities that skilled volunteering offers and what is the impact when it works well?

    Series 2 - Ep 8 - Tech for Good Summit 23 - Open Data for Action

    The value and power of open data was highlighted to everyone during the pandemic. There are many open data sets being generated from multiple sources but there are also many issues with discoverability, consistency and frequency/regularity of updates. How can we encourage governments and other data owners to continue to extend and improve access to data and how can we demonstrate the power of using that data to support a story telling capability for the third sector and civil society?

    Series 2 - Ep 7 - Tech for Good Summit 23 - Federated Organisations - The Scale Opportunity

    Federated organisations share some characteristics of franchise models. Common processes and systems underpin the operations of successful franchise operations. In principle this lends itself well to federated organisations in the third sector – is this approach being utilised now and what can be done to increase awareness of what works well and encourage greater openness and uptake of this approach?

    Series 2 - Ep 5 - Tech for Good Summit 23 - Creating Equality of Opportunity

    There is much talk of the digital divide. On one hand, there is a widely-recognised shortage of skilled people in the tech sector and others that rely on technology, and on the other hand there is an urgent problem of digital exclusion and a dearth of equality of opportunity for many individuals in our society. But good work is being done, by both business and education. Whether it’s ensuring that young people can be inspired and learn what they need to learn to secure high value work, or businesses opening new recruitment and career pathways into their organisations.

    Series 2 - Ep 4 - Tech for Good Summit 23 - An Enabling Infrastructure for the Third Sector

    The technology landscape in the third sector is fragmented and where common systems have been created it has often been difficult to get widespread adoption. There is no ‘one size fits all’ tech platform that can serve all the needs of an entire sector, but there are undoubtedly requirements that are common across significant parts of it. These could be horizontal applications like funding application processes, impact measurement and reporting, or vertical applications supporting organisations working in similar areas, such as asylum seekers and refugees, food distribution, and tackling homelessness.
